Residents living in a basic accommodation that receive a rate reduction are entitled to have a comfort allowance of $143.00 from their income. The comfort allowance can be placed in a trust account with the facility and may be used for incidentals.

Incidentals are considered extra and are billed to the resident accordingly. They include:

Hairdresser or barber

Outside excursions - bus trips

Foot care

Dental care

Cable television

Telephone

Payment Options

Arrangements can be made through the Resident Financial Coordinators to deposit money directly to the resident's account.

Banking hours are available and are posted on the door at the main office.

It is the resident's and/or family members' responsibility to make deposits and withdrawals on their accounts.

It is recommended that residents do not carry large sums of money with them, but deposit them into their own account and withdraw from it when needed.

Prearranged/Prepaid Funeral Arrangements

We recommend that prearranged/prepaid funeral arrangements be made before becoming a resident at Huron Lodge in order to ensure that the resident's wishes are honoured and to ensure that staff members are familiar with specific requests.

As well, making such arrangements in advance can help save families from having to make numerous decisions during their time of grief.
